MAGNAZip+ by mc.2: The Magnetic Zip Blind Built for Wind, Rain, and Heat

We don’t know about you, but one of the common issues we face when it comes to zip blinds is that they crease, wave, or grow out of shape after just a few months. And truth be told, it’s not entirely their fault. Constant exposure to elements such as heat, rain, and UV rays can cause the fabric to expand over time, resulting in wrinkles and visible creases. Fortunately, mc.2 has recently introduced a breakthrough innovation — the all-new MAGNAZip+. A New Benchmark in Zip Blind Technology, backed by an 8-Year Warranty, it’s specially engineered to withstand strong winds while maintaining long-term durability and a smooth, flawless appearance.

How does mc.2’s MAGNAZip+ work?

MAGNAZip+ combines powerful N35 Neodymium magnets in the bottom bar with the precision of a Somfy Maestria motor and a tension coil mechanism to maintain optimal fabric tension. The magnets create a firm downward pull, ensuring the fabric stays perfectly straight and evenly stretched. This patent-pending technology helps keep your blinds crease-free, allowing them to maintain their premium build for years to come. And yes, MAGNAZip+ is the only zip blind so far to use such magnetic technology to retain its quality for a long time!

Building on the success of the original MAGNAZip, MAGNAZip+ takes performance to the next level. It features enhanced durability, expanded coverage, and refined engineering details—most notably a wider 23mm profile compared to the original 15mm. With an impressive panel width of up to 4.7 metres (a 24% increase!), it can seamlessly cover larger openings with a single panel, making it especially well-suited for expansive balconies and glass-fronted terraces in modern condominium developments. Further strengthening its design is a 25mm welder bar, more than double the original system’s 12mm, which reinforces the stitching at key structural anchor points. This increased contact area is crucial in high-wind conditions, helping to prevent billowing, misalignment, and undue stress along the track interface—ensuring both stability and longevity.

Why we love the MAGNAZip+:

1. Suitable for all weather conditions

MAGNAZip+ uses perforated fabric with tiny holes that regulate airflow while maintaining comfort indoors. These micro-perforations help preserve the cool air within your space while effectively blocking UV rays — perfect for staying comfortable even in Singapore’s intense heat! It keeps rain out and shields your space from strong winds too, hence highly recommended for both outdoor and semi-outdoor spaces. 

We also heard that, on occasion, MAGNAZip+ blinds may show slight creases, especially if they have been kept fully retracted for a long period. According to mc.2, the solution is simple — just leave the blinds fully down for about 30 minutes. This allows the magnets and tension coil mechanism to work their magic, gradually smoothing out the fabric and reducing any visible creases. If the creases remain noticeable after that, the team is always ready to assist and will happily send someone over to help.

2. Durable

Because MAGNAZip+ maintains a smooth and crease-free fabric even under changing weather conditions, the lifespan of the blinds is significantly extended. Other components are also designed for durability. For instance, the front panel of the MAGNAZip+ headrail is made from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminium, offering enhanced strength and rigidity. Meanwhile, the other exterior profiles are crafted from 6063-T5 aluminium with a textured powder-coated finish. This gives the blinds a sleek, modern appearance while providing excellent scratch resistance and rust protection.

Together, these materials ensure that MAGNAZip+ performs reliably even in harsh environmental conditions.

More MAGNAZIP+ features we love:

• Easy glide mechanism, making it oh-so-easy to use!
• TensionClip. Keeps the fabric wrinkle-free, making the zip blinds more durable to stand the test of time.
• Scratch-resistant, powder-durable aluminium profile, making it safe from rust.
• Wiring is tucked into the headrail for a clean look
• Easy to maintain with a snap-on, snap-off system for the motor
• Keeps insects out

3. Long 8-year warranty and incredible support

mc.2 offers a comprehensive 8-year warranty covering both parts and labour, a huge upgrade from the original MAGNAZip’s 5-year, parts-only coverage. This extended assurance proves mc.2s confidence in the enhanced durability of its latest innovations, while reinforcing its commitment to supporting customers well beyond installation.
